Glad ya like it (and it does look like a nice, professional job), but IMO fat rear tires are vastly overrated. My '08 Night Train came stock with a 200 rear, and I wish it didn't.

Thanks for all your comments.

Here's the deal with Heartland, they're not bad guys at all, their just not able to provide me with what I wanted. About a year and half ago I personally went there to see if infact if they do have a 200 conversin kit for 00-05 Softial models. The answer was that they were working on it at that time, but recently the engineer who was working on it quit on them. They do advertise it on their website, but if you call to order one they will tell you their in the process of making one. I'm sure they will come up with one soon.

Couldn't wait. So, since last year I have been gathering parts on ebay and craigslist to start the 200 conversion.

I personally like big rear tires, ever since my 07 V Rod, which has a stock 240 rear tire. I just love the look.

At this present time the fenders (front and rear) are being mocked and measurements are coming into play for the modification of the struts, where they attach to the frame. Horns are cut off.

I'll be posting more photos soon.

I just spoke with Heartland, they say the 200 for 00-05 bikes should be out by the end of the year. It is looking like it will retail for $1999 like the rest of the HL kits.
